It was so distressing that she said she was in “denial” about what had happened during the shoot.
And it was clear that this was just one out of a multitude of sickening scenes that contributed to her ultimate decision to leave the industry for good.Looking back, Lana admits that leaving the adult film industry was one of the best decisions she ever made.
She has thrived both mentally and financially since moving on.
Speaking candidly on the YouTube show BFFs with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, she shared how little she was paid while working in the industry, saying:“The industry I did not get paid s***. I probably had $100,000 in my bank account when I quit shooting porn, and now I’m a multi-millionaire.”
Now, Lana has found great success on other platforms, particularly OnlyFans and Instagram.
She added: “I think there’s still going to be girls who are infatuated with the industry, who think that it’s very glamorous.”That’s what I warn girls against, it’s not that glamorous. It’s not even well paying. It’s smarter to go into Instagram, or just do an OnlyFans.”

Lana revealed that she can earn up to $30,000 for a single Instagram post. But the real money, she says, comes from her OnlyFans account.
With around 25,000 subscribers paying $5.99 per month, her monthly income from the platform is around $100,000.It’s clear that leaving the adult industry allowed Lana to build a much more profitable and sustainable career.
And while her past continues to shape her, she’s focused on moving forward and making the most of her newfound success.
Get the bag, girl!
